Muldis::D
README
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Darren Duncan
PREFACE
This distribution features the pure documentation file named Muldis::D
(Formal spec of Muldis D relational DBMS lang) and its support structure.
Read below for how to get support or keep up to date.
DOCUMENTATION READING ORDER
If you want to read all the Muldis D documentation that exists now in
this distribution, I recommend doing so in this order:
1. README
2. (opt) Changes
3. lib/Muldis/D.pm
4. lib/Muldis/D/Outdated.pod
... which lists a reading order for lib/Muldis/D/Outdated/*
5. lib/Muldis/D/SeeAlso.pod
6. (opt) TODO
Then you can carry on with anything else.
You may prefer the nicely HTML-formatted versions of the above, which are
available at "http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/".
I also suggest the Muldis-D-Manual distribution, which is available at
"http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D-Manual/".
KEEPING UP TO DATE
My module set is constantly under development. The canonical copies are
all linked to through my personal website, "http://www.darrenduncan.net/",
on its front page by an "Open Source" heading. Some
of these modules are also linked to through my business website,
"http://www.muldis.com/", on its front page.
For those of you that are interested in the bleeding edge of development, I
have all parts of the Muldis D project in one or more public repositories.
The Muldis D project is in a Git repository whose public clone url is
"git://github.com/muldis/Muldis-D.git" and whose web information url is at
"http://github.com/muldis/Muldis-D".
You can download slightly older versions of all of my modules from the
public CPAN archives at "http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or
on my own web server at "http://www.darrenduncan.net/d/perl/".
CPAN also extracts the POD from modules and maintains that documentation in
an organized and searchable fashion. Their main search site is at
"http://search.cpan.org", and my own DUNCAND author page is at
"http://search.cpan.org/search?author=DUNCAND".
The main CPAN search site url for Muldis D is
"http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-D/"; that is the url you should link to
presently if you want something to consider the "home page" of Muldis D; it
is best to refer people there by default.
You can download my oldest tarred and gzipped distributions from BACKPAN,
at "http://history.perl.org/backpan/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/", or from my
web server, at "http://www.darrenduncan.net/d/perl/archives/", right back
to the libdwg 1.0, first released on 2000 July 23.
SUPPORT
Several public email-based forums exist whose main topic is
the Muldis D language and its implementations, especially
the Muldis::D::RefEng reference implementation, but also
the Set::Relation module. They exist so that users of Muldis D or
Muldis::D::RefEng can help each other, or so that help coming from the
projects' developers can be said once to many people, rather than
necessarily to each individually. All of these you can reach via
"http://mm.darrenduncan.net/mailman/listinfo".
Alternately, you can purchase more advanced commercial support for various
Muldis D implementations, particularly Muldis::D::RefEng, from its author by
way of Muldis Data Systems; see "http://www.muldis.com/" for details.
